We visited so many charity shops in our week away I had forgotten about this little book I picked up at the Balhannah Anglicare Shop. I found it yesterday in the back seat of the car. It was $2 and was published in 1904. How cute! This shop was probably the most competitive I have been to...it's tucked away from the town's main street...but before opening there were locals clutching baskets pressed up against the door and were glaring at the out-of towners from the big smoke!!
...and if Balhannah was a tough crowd.... Mannum (on the River Murray) was the smelliest...Mr VL couldn't get out of there fast enough
That must be one popular op-shop.
ReplyDeleteWow that beeok is in great condition considering its age. A great find.

ReplyDeleteHi Letitia!!
ReplyDeleteYes so do we, that's why we always love to stay at Adelaide Country Cottages....and it gives me quick access to my FAVOURITE shop....Balhannah by Design.........and I LOVE your page! xx
I think you should write a guide to op-shops in SA, but that might be giving all your secrets away!
ReplyDeleteThats not such a bad idea!!
DeleteHa! I love op-shop stories like those ~ a guide would be very handy (and amusing!)
